An Anthology Of Enterprise Policy In Ireland, William Gorman, Thomas Cooney
An Anthology Of Enterprise Policy In Ireland, William Gorman, Thomas Cooney
Articles
Ruane and Gorg (1996: 37) remarked that 'any careful comparison of the Irish economy with other economies in the European Union immediately focuses on two key features of Ireland's pattern of industrial development: the enormous significance of foreign direct investment (FDI) and the very high export ratios in the Irish manufacturing sector among foreign-owned companies. These two features have not developed by accident, but are directly related to the industrial strategy which Ireland has pursued over the past forty years, namely, of promoting export-led growth in Irish manufacturing through various incentives and of encouraging foreign companies to establish manufacturing plants …

Institutional Mission Vs. Policy Constraint?: Unlocking Potential, Ellen Hazelkorn
Articles
The research-intensive and competitive knowledge society is putting HEIs (higher education institutions) under the spotlight. While many HEIs around the world do not proclaim or wish to be research-intensive institutions the majority desire to intensify their research activity because it is seen as a sine qua non of higher education.

Crime, Punishment And Penal Policy, Ian O'Donnell
Irish Journal of Applied Social Studies
Academic interest in crime and punishment in Ireland has grown in recent years and a number of important books have appeared (Bacik and O'Connell 1998, Brewer et al 1997, McCullagh 1996, O'Mahony 1993, O'Malley 2000). However any attempt to create a detailed understanding of the criminal justice process is frustrated by a lack of data. Statistical information is often published years in arrears, is of poor quality and is uncritically accepted as accurate and meaningful. The purpose of this paper is to give a snapshot of current understanding of the criminal justice system and to highlight a small number of …
